Chapter 1063: Chapter 3 The Youngest Young Sect Leader of the Taoist Sect_2
“The matter of Qing King’s city massacre has temporarily concluded, but there are still many loose ends to tie up.”
Shui Yue Pavilion Master’s voice gradually turned cold, “The city massacre by Qing King was planned for ten thousand years. Besides the involvent of the Demon Race, many other forces are also implicated.”
Wei Mo furrowed his brows, faintly understanding the implication of Shui Yue Pavilion Master’s words.
“Are you referring to our Zhishou Tower, Shui Yue Pavilion Master?”
Shui Yue Pavilion Master nodded without hesitation, “Exactly!”
She exhaled slowly, organizing her words, “Qing King had two objectives for the massacre in Chang’an. One was to obtain enough essence blood to help himself break through to Demi-Ancestor, while also plotting to hunt down the Demon Race’s Xuan Venerable, trying to pin all the bla on Xuan Venerable.”
“The second was to force the Supre to abdicate and thereby usurp the throne.”
“But his goals were too ambitious, and there were many obstacles he couldn’t bypass.”
“Firstly, in order to employ the Blood Syllable Mantra and lure Xuan Venerable into the Human Realm, he needed to establish a connection with the Demon Race and earn a asure of their trust.”
“Xia Qing ultimately chose the thod of blood exchange deals, colluding with the Demon Race, forming a transaction that lasted for ten thousand years.
It was this stable cooperation without incident for ten thousand years that blinded Xuan Venerable’s vigilance. Coupled with possibly huge offered benefits, he was deceived into entering the Human Realm to assist with the Blood Slaughter.”
Actually, even so, Xia Qing still did not fully gain Xuan Venerable’s trust. Because after Xuan Venerable entered the realm, Xia Qing secretly prepared a passage back to the Heavenly Gate Realm, which reassured him enough to show himself…. Lu Qingshan silently added in his heart.
Shui Yue Pavilion Master continued, “This ten-thousand-year blood exchange deal not only earned him the Demon Race’s trust but also helped the cultivators of Qing King’s line rapidly grow, achieving a dual purpose.”
“But the cost was that countless mbers of the Human Race were transported to the Demon Race by Xia Qing.”
“So many humans disappeared; it shouldn’t have been able to deceive everyone, but there are two main reasons why no one discovered it over the millennia… ”
First, the cultivators of Qing King’s lineage targeted small Sects and families, disguising their actions through fragntation techniques to evade our scrutiny.”
Heavenly Secret Pavilion, though overseeing the world, starts its monitoring at the Prefecture level.
This is its weakness.
A Prefecture is vast, and the Spiritual Cultivators of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion can only perform macroscopic surveillance.”
If they could even detect the demise of a small Sect or family within the Prefecture…. that wouldn’t be called monitoring; it’d be called control.”
By using this thod, Qing King’s lineage evaded the surveillance of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.”
“The saying goes ‘Constant exposure to the river, where will you not wet your shoes’, but even with such high-frequency actions, Qing King’s line never exposed a single flaw nor was detected. There is another crucial reason…”
Shui Yue Pavilion Master’s eyes filled with a heavy coldness, her words powerful and resonant, “There are people within Zhishou Tower, from Qing King’s lineage, helping Xia Qing erase information!”
Wei Mo furrowed his brows, “I can accept this accusation, as it seems reasonable, but baseless accusations won’t suffice; we need evidence.”
Shui Yue Pavilion Master’s face showed little emotion as she softly said, “Qingshan.”
At this mont, the gazes of the three Tower Masters all focused on the young Sword Cultivator standing silently aside, who they’d temporarily forgotten.
Lu Qingshan stepped forward and slowly spoke, “This junior Lu Qingshan of the Sword Sect, I assu the three Tower Masters should recognize .”
His gaze unreservedly swept over the faces of the three Tower Masters before he continued, “I have two disciples who survived the blood exchange dealings, originating from a small Sect around Tai’an City, the Qingfeng Sect.”
“After learning about the possible existence of the blood exchange deals from them, I sought to retrieve information on Qingfeng Sect from the Sand Wall City Branch of Zhishou Tower, hoping to uncover the truth behind the events.”
“But, after conducting a detailed investigation, I found that in the Zhishou Tower’s intelligence database, my two disciples’ forr Sect, Qingfeng Sect, seed to have never existed, as its records were deliberately erased.
“That’s not all; I was ambushed outside Qingfeng Sect in the Lianyun Mountains because of this.”
“At that ti, my whereabouts were uncertain, yet they were able to locate precisely, which leaves only one explanation – soone in your tower leaked my information and movents.”
“And also….”
Lu Qingshan was about to continue when Luo River Tower Master on the right seat suddenly looked up, a hidden ferocity in his gaze that others couldn’t decipher.
He stared at Lu Qingshan, interrupting him with dissatisfaction, “Even if you are a disciple of the Taoist Sect, but you’re ultimately just a junior.
Our Zhishou Tower has been resisting the Netherworld for ten thousand years, countless colleagues have sacrificed, and the effort is undeniable by any.
Today, how can one conclude there’s a mole in our Zhishou Tower based solely on a junior’s testimony?”
Wei Mo and Yan Ming exchanged glances at these words, a certain emotion flashing in their eyes, as if reaching so consensus at this mont.
Subsequently, Wei Mo spoke calmly, “Luo River’s words have reason, although I respect the Heavenly Secret Pavilion imnsely and trust you, Shui Yue Pavilion Master, the evidence you ntioned, if it’s rely a junior’s testimony, indeed isn’t convincing to us.”
Having governed Zhishou Tower for so many years, the three present weren’t re wine bags, nor would they let Qing King recklessly massacre the Human Race.
From many pieces of information being erased from Zhishou Tower’s intelligence database, they are essentially certain a so-called mole within Zhishou Tower exists.
But the reason they present this facade now isn’t to cover up, but out of a sense of preserving one’s reputation.
The matter of a mole within Zhishou Tower must be investigated, but it should best be examined internally, privately, resolved quietly within, rather than under the pressure from Shui Yue Pavilion Master.
This would minimize the impact on Zhishou Tower.
Therefore, what they contemplated was first to deflect the issue today.
The words of Luo River Tower Master at this mont served as an excellent entry point, which they imdiately echoed.
Lu Qingshan’s expression remained calm, his gaze indifferent as he looked at the three Tower Masters.
He could guess their thoughts, and it was precisely because of this that Lu Qingshan grew even more furious inside.
Not fulfilling their duties properly, their first reaction wasn’t introspection or repairing the pen after the sheep are lost, but instead seeking self-preservation, cherishing their wings.
This may be human nature, but to Lu Qingshan, he couldn’t accept such a reaction.
The responsibility of Zhishou Tower is significant, and the three Tower Masters should possess adequate capability and morals to assu such a role.
If they lack the ability, then they should dutifully step aside for soone more qualified.
“I’m indeed a junior, and I understand that my words aren’t enough to convince you esteed Tower Masters…..” Lu Qingshan mocked.
When he spoke the word “esteed,” he deliberately raised his tone.
“But I’m not rely an ordinary Sword Sect disciple as you claim….” His previously calm eyes suddenly emitted an astounding chill at this instant.
Clang!
The next mont, Lu Qingshan waved his hand, a flash of spiritual light appeared.
With a clang, a Sword Token flew from Lu Qingshan’s hand and landed on the table.
It was an Old Dragon Sword Talisman, facing upwards with four prominently engraved characters that instantly drew all four people’s attention to it.
“Young Sect Leader of the Sword Sect!”
“Now, do my words suffice to make the three Tower Masters believe?” Lu Qingshan’s gaze swept over the three Zhishou Tower Masters’ varied expressions, asking word by word in this manner.
All three Tower Masters, including Shui Yue Pavilion Master, were astonished as they looked at Lu Qingshan, who stood tall and remained unmoved.
“Lu Qingshan is now…. the Young Sect Leader of the Sword Sect?” Even Shui Yue Pavilion Master, who traveled with Lu Qingshan, felt equally shocked – she had no prior knowledge that Qingyun Sword Immortal had designated Lu Qingshan as the Young Sect Leader of the Sword Sect.
This truly surpassed her understanding.
Even though she always held Lu Qingshan in high regard and greatly valued him, Qingyun Sword Immortal’s boldness was still beyond her expectations.
If she rembered correctly, Lu Qingshan was only twenty-three years old this year.
And the Sword Sect is a Super Taoist Sect with a tradition of over a hundred thousand years.
To beco the Young Sect Leader of a ten-thousand-year-old Taoist Sect at the age of twenty-three….
And to be chosen as the successor of the Sword Sect by the Qingyun Sword Immortal with a cultivation at only the Sixth Realm…..
